Chasing Coral (2017)
Fra i tanti documentari attualmente disponibili sulla popolare piattaforma di streaming Netflix, merita sicuramente una menzione #Chasing Coral, toccante e drammatica opera di Jeff Orlowski sulla progressiva sparizione delle barriere coralline, fondamentali per l'ecosistema marino e di conseguenza per tutto il nostro pianeta. Il film è stato presentato al Sundance Film Festival 2017, dove ha conquistato il prestigioso Audience Award. A causa del riscaldamento globale, dovuto al devastante impatto sull'ambiente dei combustibili fossili e alla sregolata attività dell'uomo, le barriere coralline stanno sparendo, e lo stanno facendo a una velocità impressionante: solo negli ultimi 30 anni, è andato perso circa il 50% del patrimonio mondiale di coralli. Attraverso fotografie e riprese marine di crudele bellezza, Orlowski testimonia il cambiamento in atto, sviscerando con dovizia di particolari le cause e gli effetti di questo drammatico fenomeno.
